“Incredddddible ramen spot. I will definitely be coming back. I’m not vegan or vegetarian but ordered Captain Brooklyn III for the spice factor and loved it. It’s a sichuan style ramen with vegan meat. Highly recommend it.

Point Blank ramen was delicious as well, the broth is lighter than the Captain Brooklyn III and was a medium-spice.

Staff was friendly and service was quick. There are also cocktails / drinks. Ambience at night was nice and makes for a great place to bring friends or a date.

Recommend making reservations if possible but there’s also most likely room at the bar for walk-ins.“

“The food was fresh and served in a timely manner. I highly recommend their karaage chicken. I wasn’t a fan of the ramen bowl, but I was experimenting with new flavors. I also tired boba for the first time. It was weird and fun to try. The place was clean and pleasant, and the staff were friendly and helpful.“

“Always a staple in our visits to NYC. Never disappointed. Can be packed sometimes, but so worth it. Really good music and atmosphere.“

“I came here to waste a few hours until I got into my hotel. The staff were so lovely, found me a spot with a plug, and were just all-around lovely. The food was phenomenal- I had the maitake tempura, the garlic edamame, the chips with aoli, the Brooklyn bridge roll, the oinarisan roll, and a pot of the sobacha tea. It was so delicious- I came back 4hrs later to have the tonkotsu ramen for dinner! Everything is delicious and there is something for everyone. Updated from previous review on 2026-01-11“

“TLDR - fantastic food, service, and vibes.

Noodles are slightly less al dente which is perfect

Broth is not as greasy and felt clean yet savory.

Great music - not so loud but able to enjoy conversations“

“Some of the best ramen I have had in the neighborhood.

We tried the kimchi (10/10) and the tots. My only complaint about the tots was that they needed more sauce, we asked for a side of Mayo and added their house made hot sauce and it was incredible!

Curry ramen and tan tan ramen were incredible. Left full and very satisfied with our meal.“

“Visited here on several occasion. Minimalist decor, dimly lit providing a cozy and intimate ambiance , cute for a date night without feeling over the top. We've had Dawa as our waitress couple times and she is very attentive and personable. Gave us great tips on what to order

The spicy yuzu margarita is my go to drink .Well balanced, strong, not too spicy which i liked. For food, I have really enjoyed their eel roll and salmon teriyaki. Recently tried their Omakase and it was very tasty . The sushi was so fresh, the salmon sashimi was melts in your mouth. The dragon roll was also a great addition. The portion was plentiful, felt very full by the last bite. Overall, really impressed by the quality of their sushi. I look forward to sampling the ramen on the menu since so many people have raved about it.“

“The chef, Malcolm was wonderful to begin with. We ordered taiwanese beef noodle soup as well as the spicy duck wings as an appetizer. We also got the Shirley Temple to drink, and all the parts of the meal were absolutely wonderful. We stumbled upon this place by accident and will definitely be coming back whenever in town. The chef along with the waiter were super welcoming and even spent time talking with us.“

“I've been going here for over two years straight, and the food remains consistent and hearty! This is the best ramen spot in Brooklyn and I've recommended it to all of my coworkers, who come back routinely. I hope this place continues to grow, it truly deserves a thriving business.“

“Delicious ramen but a little overpriced. You only get one choice of broth which is pork, but can customize the spice level and your toppings. The ramen was good but for the price I was hoping the portion size would be a bit bigger. Sitting at the private booths was also a really nice and unique experience, I highly recommend.“

“This is a review specifically about the Ikura don. I love ikura so was super happy to see that they have ikura don on the menu! I also got the chirashi don, which was great. But as for the ikura... why is it so sweet? The ikura is marinated in a very SWEET sauce.... that I could hardly taste the special taste of the ikura itself. I just wanted to let the management know that that marinade sauce for the ikura is WAY too sweet!! Please highlight the taste of the ikura itself. 🙏🙏🙏“

“food is so good! the staff is lovely. very welcoming and inviting.“

“No frills type of space. Kind and welcoming staff with fast service. Looks like they do a lot of sushi delivery but I went for ramen. Got the black garlic tonkotsu which was fantastic. The largest portion I've had in NYC so far and at an extremely reasonable price. I wish I had room to finish the entire bowl. Will definitely be visiting again :)“

“I always have a great experience at thanks to Kaung! They are ALWAYS so friendly, attentive, and make the whole meal feel extra special. You can tell they really care about their customers and take pride in their work. The food was amazing, but Kaung's service honestly makes it even better.“

“El sabor de las ramen es espectacular“

“My first Ramen , traditional japanese! So amazing!“

“Love this spot! It’s easy to miss but definitely worth it. Laid back atmosphere but quick and smooth service. The food was amazing. Very flavorful and well made.

I got the katsu curry ramen, definitely recommend. Veggie Gyoza was also fantastic.“

“Nice and cool in this sweltering weather and happy hour prices from 3 to 7 on a Sunday!❤️❤️❤️“

“The food here is incredible - some of the best Japanese food in Brooklyn. However, the service can be quite slow depending on the night and the menus are a bit complicated to understand at first. There is a lot going on in the menu and the formatting is not consistent which leads to a lot of back & forth when navigating the menu.

The first time I visited last year there were absolutely no issues and I had a fantastic experience. However when I visited again a few weeks ago, I had to wait over 20-30 minutes just to place my food order and another 15-20 minutes for the food to arrive (but this is understandable given it is a small kitchen dealing with many orders).

The restaurant was busy but there were still several empty tables, but there was only 1 server. The server helped me to my seat quickly, but then started cleaning and doing other random tasks and chatting with others for a long time before even coming to me to ask me what I would like to order. Maybe it was just busier night than usual or this server was a new hire, but it was quite frustrating having to sit and wait for so long before even getting to place my order. The server seemed to be more concerned with cleaning tables for potential customers (who did not even show up) instead of the paying customer waiting right in front of him for so long. I even saw another customer literally have to get up from her table and walk up to the server to ask him to come to their table and place their order.

Anyways, the food was still really incredible and I had no issues once it came out, but the server seems to have completely different priorities instead of the paying customers who are actually at the restaurant. Maybe if he had some more assistance or if I came on another slow night he would not be so unfocused. But to his credit, he was apologetic about the wait at the end once I paid my bill.

I would definitely recommend the food here (the Veg Croquette Curry, Fried Garlic Chicken, and Chilled Ramen were fantastic), but this is not a place for a casual dinner as you will likely spend over an hour here.“

“Curry ramen with the combo is bomb“

“A true hidden gem with incredible Thai food!
I really appreciate the variety of vegetarian options here - including mock duck so we have a protein option other than just tofu.
The Pad Se Ew with mock duck is one of the most flavorful versions of this dish I’ve had, and the Green Curry (with tofu) was perfection - not too spicy, incredibly tasty and bold. I also recommend getting some roti to soak up the extra curry.
The drinks are all more on the sweet side - I had the Miami Beach and it was tasty, but a little sweeter than my usual liking. The only reason for 1 less star is because I found the desserts to be a bit of a letdown - the lava cake had no lava and the coconut sticky rice was mostly just rice with some ice cream on top.
Aside from the desserts, everything was fabulous and I would come back!“

“I really enjoyed my bowl of ramen. The atmosphere is relaxed and service is nice. I look forward to going back and trying some more items on the menu.“

“delicious food. great music.“

“I've been itching to try this place for a while. It definitely falls short.

The restaurant was chilly when I entered, borderline too chilly.

The menu prices werent crazy, but the quality matched the price.

I ordered a hot green tea, chashu ramen, salmon sushi and eel sushi.

The sushi didnt come with a soy sauce dish. Both the salmon and eel were rubbery and a bit dry.

Im not telling people not come here. Its definitely not my go-to spot.“

“Some of the best ramen we've ever had. Wish we could have tried them all!! Fantastic.“

“We wrapped up this foodie trip with Tonchin, and it truly lives up to the hype. We got in during happy hours so we got a couple oysters, a chashu rice ball, and 2 ramens: Spicy Tan Tan and Smoked Dashi. The foods were very delicious, ramen are both with tonkotsu broth, so if you are into Ichiran ramen, you will love it. The staff were also courteous; they sorted us out with a situation and we were happy about it. Definitely recommend to check out this location.“

“The outside is unassuming compared to the beautiful garden in the back. It’s a perfect spot for a date or a cozy dinner with friends. The drinks were all hits (I loved the lychee sunrise although it is very sweet). The banh xeo and bun bo hue are definitely the most worth ordering of what we got. I’d probably skip the lemongrass beef summer rolls and try some of the other ones. The only reason for 4 stars is because the service was slow to get our order in and we were waiting for awhile, but they are very kind!“

“Okay, I just got back from Ajimi and I had to immediately write a review because this place is fantastic. Seriously, every single thing we ordered was great.
The highlight for me was hands down the Ajimi Kuro ramen. I could eat that stuff every day. It was just perfectly savory and delicious. If you go, you HAVE to get it.
What really blew me away, though, was the value. The food was exceptional, and the portions were actually really good. I was expecting less given the price, and other reviews so that was a huge plus. We definitely left full and happy!
And finally, the service was on point. Our server was attentive and great, checking in on us when we needed something but never hovering. It was that perfect balance where you actually get to enjoy your meal without constant interruptions.
Bottom line: If you're looking for fantastic ramen and great Japanese food that won't empty your wallet, go to Ajimi. You won't regret it!“

“Amazing and high quality sushi! Always a hit and super fresh. So happy that they opened up close to where I live. I've been ordering from them almost every other week. Definitely give it a try if you haven't before! Note that their restaurant is very small though“

“The food is amazingly delicious. The staff is so friendly. I am totally going back“

“Went with friends OMGGG FOOD WAS AMAZING… Food was freshly prepared and so yummy. The service was great.We were greeted and sat quickly. We have been here several times and never disappoints. Reasonable pricing. A little hard to find parking. They even have lunch specials earlier in the day. Only complaint there wasnt any heat. Very cold. Had to eat with coat and scarf.“

“Good service , fresh sushi , best food quality around .“

“Food is amazing every time“

“Cute space and you can tell they care about the food that comes out. Everything smells great and beautiful plating. In talking with the team it’s nice to hear it’s becoming more farm to table - you can definitely taste the difference from other places in the area. Loved the heirloom tomatoes dish- definitely feels like summer in a dish with the pink tangerines! (Pictured ) they also have a cool looking bar hidden in the back that was packed. Would highly recommend if you’re in the area - worth the visit 🙌🏼“

“Strange but wonderful fusion food!“

“Tonkotsu Deluxe Ramen is my go-to. Really delicious, really flavorful. Wish the pork slices were thicker. Countertop red spice makes it a little saltier and a little spicier. Do NOT go to the ramen spot in Yokocho Alley, it is not flavorful and you get way less for what you pay for.“

“It was only one other party there when I arrived so I was able to order relatively quickly. I ordered the Za Jiang Noodle and the Spicy Wonton in Red Chili. I loved the wontons. Those were my favorite. I asked the guy behind the register what was his favorite between the marinated fried chicken and the wontons. He mentioned the wontons. They were really flavorful and had a nice spice to it. The texture was good and everything I had tasted fresh. The noodles were separate from the toppings since I was having it to go. I did end up with leftovers and day two of the noodles kind of reminded me of a spaghetti with minced meat texture. the food was delicious.“

“very good Ramen....,.....,“

“The restaurant is located in the Dyker Heights section of Brooklyn. They prepare Japanese cuisine. I ordered the sushi bento box. It includes choice of soup or salad, three shumai, rice, and eight pieces of sushi. The sashimi bento box is the same with nine pieces of sashimi. The harumaki are Japanese spring rolls and were crisp. The vegetable gyoza are dumplings with a vegetable filling. The food was fresh, well-prepared and well-priced. Very friendly and helpful staff.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐damn!!! delicious ramen .I never eat like this before. 🤟🇹🇭🇺🇸💙“

“I have tried many many ramen places in Brooklyn. I would say that this is by far the best Ramen spot in Brooklyn. Of special note is their vegan Ramens - from the very well seasoned and rich broth to the roasted vegetables, the vegan ramens are thoughtfully and thoroughly prepared. I look forward to trying all the other ramens at this place. Very pleasantly surprised.“

“I like the egg drop soup .no one better than yum yum in this place.they say they use all white meat chicken.they server Heathy food for all people !that is good!“

“We came upon this restaurant accidentally and am I glad we did!!! Everything was perfect, the atmosphere, service, and that food!! Some of the best I’ve had! Will definitely come back. 😍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️😍“

“I tried the chicken ramen and it was delicious!�“
